Just wondering. I don't yet have one, but I am looking to buy one. I really hate printing hundreds of pages of text, when I could quite easily store them on a mobile device and save physical space, money and the environment.

You can just read them on your computer, too. No need to get a separate device.

I know, but it's the tactile feel of the book I am after. It something is small enough and allows you to navigate through. I recently spotted some nifty iPad apps that would be awesome to be using whilst reading a digital book. I think soon will be the stage to jump on the iPad wagon and make life a little easier.

I seem to have a problem taking things in when read on any electronic device! I much prefer a paper copy; they can also be read in the bath

Oh, I prefer paper too... by far. but unfortunately there is not enough room in my house to have all the books I would like and sometimes it is handy to carry them with you... to read while in the bus and so... and you can't use the tablet PC in the bath too

Having said this, Kindle and other products are more suitable than a Tablet PC. It is hard for the eyes if you read for too long.

I am thinking of maybe getting a Kiddle. I already own a couple of eBooks and I have an feeling that it won't let me just upload them. Amazon might lock me into purchasing exactly the same books via Amazon Store.

I always prefer traditional books, with that in mind I don't have a lot of space for all these books. iPad would be the best equivalent, considering you can do so much with it, but I don't think it would be suitable for long reading. Kindle might be my best option.
